Warnersville: An old neighborhood finds new stewardship
Warnersville owes its name to Yardley Warner, a Quaker from Pennsylvania who established schools for newly emancipated African Americans in the 1860s. Around this same time, Warner bought 35.5 acres of land on the south side of Greensboro, selling parcels to Blacks at low prices, building the community a schoolhouse and church and helping teach residents how to run farms and businesses.
Warnersville grew into a close-knit and self-sufficient neighborhood, but urban renewal programs shook the neighborhood up. Homes and even the community’s cemetery and historic school were demolished. Today, residents remain proud of their community and history. The Greensboro History Museum has opened a permanent exhibit to chronicle its history and tell residents’ stories. Established in 2007, the Warnersville Historical and Beautification Society strives to ensure that locals spearhead any redevelopment going forward. Warnersville also stands to benefit from its proximity to booming Downtown Greensboro. “The south end of Greensboro’s downtown has seen the most growth. Places that were vacant for years now have businesses,” says Robert Canner, owner of Robert B. Canner Real Estate and 38-year-resident of the city. “This growth has brought the community together and has made Greensboro very multicultural.”
Local businesses in Downtown Greensboro
The shops and restaurants of Downtown Greensboro and Southside are just across Gate City Boulevard. Bourbon Bowl operates out of a former gas station and offers six lanes of bowling, as well as craft food and specialty cocktails. Natty Greene’s invites patrons to enjoy pub fare and beer flights indoors or on the patio. For dessert, locals can visit Cheesecakes by Alex, which features unique flavors from apple crisp and crème brûlée to sweet potato and white chocolate raspberry. Stores include Vintage to Vogue Boutique and Hype Clinic, a shoe shop. Deep Roots Market is a mile north of Warnersville, a food co-op stocked with locally grown produce and handcrafted wares. A Food Lion is 1.5 miles south of the neighborhood on South Elm-Eugene Street.
Ranch-style homes from the ‘60s and ‘70s
Red brick ranch-style homes form Warnersville’s housing stock. Most builds date to the 1960s and ‘70s and offer three bedrooms. The average square footage hovers around 1,200, which is below the national average of 1,900. Mature trees and streetlamps tower over lots, spanning just under a quarter of an acre on average. Some are enclosed or separated by chain link and picket fences. Driveways are usually wide enough for just a single car, but street parking is plentiful. Garages, attached or detached, are uncommon, and some residents opt to park beneath carports. Over 80% of residents are renters, with The Reserve being the largest apartment complex in the area. Homes don’t sell often, but when they do, prices range from $150,000 to $225,000. Warnersville gets an overall CAP Index crime score of 8 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. Additionally, Warnersville scores 9 in a few categories in violent crime.
Driving down Gate City Boulevard, hopping on a bus at the Greensboro station
South Eugene Street cuts Warnersville nearly right down the middle and runs north to Downtown Greensboro. Greensboro’s city center is only a mile away. Gate City Boulevard bounds the community to the north. “There’s been some beautification projects along Gate City Boulevard,” says John Nosek, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway who has been selling homes across the city for 8 years. “They’ve added more streetlamps as well as some gardens and trees to make the streetscape look better.” Interstate 40, a major east-west expressway, sits about 2 miles south of Warnersville. Several Greensboro Transit Agency bus lines pass through the neighborhood such as routes 2, 11 and 13. Commuters can transfer to other lines or take an Amtrak train from the J. Douglas Gaylon Depot, also known as the Greensboro station, located 2 miles north in Downtown Greensboro. Sidewalks accompany Bilbro, Ashe and South Eugene Streets, allowing many residents to walk a mile or less to the shops and restaurants of Southside.
Easy access to the Downtown Greenway and the Warnersville Recreation Center
During the daytime, children can explore the play structures, ride the swings and enjoy a game of basketball on the grounds of Shiloh Baptist Church, located in the heart of the neighborhood. The Downtown Greenway is a paved, 4-mile trail which cuts through Warnersville. Solar-powered lamps, drinking fountains and sculptures follow the trail as it meanders around much of Downtown Greensboro. The Warnersville Recreation Center just south of the neighborhood offers a fitness center and gym which are commonly utilized for youth sports clinics and exercise classes. LeBauer Park is a few miles north in Downtown Greensboro, home to a splash pad, dog park and amphitheater for outdoor concerts and special events.
Movies and medical screenings at the Warnersville Recreation Center
On the first Friday of each month, the Warnersville Recreation Center screens free movies, from recent blockbusters to local films pertaining to the neighborhood’s history. The recreation center also hosts recurrent special events such as a community health fair where residents can receive basic medical screenings and talk with representatives from various insurance companies and health care providers.
